Venturebeat Interview

One nice feature: If you have a lapsed WoW account that has enough gold in it to purchase a token, you can do that right from the character select screen. Right now, lapsed accounts are restricted – players are subject to the same constraints as trial accounts, able to only play lower-level characters and barred from the auction house and trade.

New racing game with achievements and rewards! The race for March 2015 is Darkmoon Racer Roadhog which rewards Fire-Eater's Vial if you complete it quickly. More race tracks and racing mounts will unlock in April, May, and June for a total of seven additional achievement series/rewards.

The Voidtalon of the Dark Star mount is a super-rare mount added in Patch 6.1. Wowhead users have been starting to find it, leaving great comments and screenshots on the database page. More information on the source in the full post!

Method's Mythic Gruul Guide

World First guild Method has partnered with Wowhead to create Mythic guides for all Blackrock Foundry bosses and their first guide is up--check out Gruul!

Over the next few weeks, we'll be getting instructional videos and guides for all the Foundry bosses. They've also made a complete set of Mythic Highmaul Guides for us including an amazingly-detailed Imperator Mar'gok Guide--if you're stuck on Mythic Foundry, go back and give Mythic Highmaul a try!

February 27th Bug Fixes

A small patch was applied to live servers February 27th to fix some bugs. If you're seeing "Incompatible" errors, log out and restart the Battle.net Client to update, or try to play the game if that doesn't work.

The notes are as follows:

Blizzard

General

Fixed a number of issues that could cause the client to crash.

Fixed an issue where name and chat filters were not blocking some inappropriate words.

Classes

RogueFixed an issue where Combat Rogues were unable to apply Deadly Poison from the Spellbook's fly-out menu.

UI

Raid frames should no longer sometimes display character realm names in a second line.

February 26th Hotfixes

February 26th hotfixes are here and include an important change to Profession Traders--they spawn in a fixed order so you don't get multiple Fur Traders in a row due to RNG! Learn more about dailies with our 6.1 Town Hall Daily Guide.

More 6.1 Guides

Our Guide to Town Hall Daily Quests covers the basics and rewards for Dungeon, Raid, Relic, Profession, and Bounty quests. Do note that many of the rewards have changed since PTR previews and recent patch notes!

New Site Feature: Hotfix Notes in the Database

This is also the perfect time to introduce a new site feature! We've integrated Blizzard hotfixes and patch notes with our database--if something gets updated, you'll see it mentioned on that database page now under the "Hotfixes" section.

This should help players stay on top of recent changes such as:

Ability buffs or nerfs--in-game tooltips do not update spell values until major content patches, so it's a long wait to see the correct spell values.
